4101 Rottenburgh sopranino, stained maple. Immensely popular range of recorders originally designed by Friederich von Huene after models by Belgian maker Jean-Hyacinth-Joseph Rottenburgh (1672-1756). Versatile, reliable and used by all levels of players who enjoy instruments made to consistently high standards. They are without doubt the world's most successful recorder series and remain one of our best sellers. Recent revisions with the Rottenburgh series have seen an improved bore for a pure and balanced tone in all registers, a narrower windway entrance and a wider exit resulting in an even more sonorous low register, clearer high register, improved response and a greater dynamic potential.
